xset m <acceleration> <threshold>

Thanks, but what it the default acceleration set by dsl?
Posted by rossjman1 on Jan. 12 2005,22:26
does anyone know what the default acceleration is?

Try typing

xset -q

for a list of current xset settings,
or xset --help for more info.

default looks to be acceleration=2/1 and threshold=4

Hi,

xset works great.
Now, I would like to make my settings persistent using filetool.lst. Where does xset save the values I have entered? I have looked unsuccessfully.

Thx.

I'd just add the "xset m" command to /home/dsl/.xinitrc

Add the line ' xset whatever variables you use '
to your home/dsl/.xinitrc file , BEFORE the fluxbox line..
The fluxbox line should ALWAYS be the last line in .xinitrc  ..

Your home/dsl/.xinitrc line should already be in
your home/dsl/filetool.lst file.  run backup.

Unless you want to execute a command when fluxbox quits/crashes...which is probably not a very common desire...

Thank you guys for the advice. I should have thought of that approach

Also,   mucho thanks for the tip on fluxbox  being the last item in the file. I did not know that and suspect that was a source of some earlier problems I had.

Now onwards. DSL is way cool!!!!!

Probably be back with a few more newbie questions later.  At least I got my wireless card working without bothering anyone.

Again Thanks.
